"Each one believeth in Allah and His angels and His scriptures and His messengers... We make no distinction between any of His messengers" The Holy Quran [002.285]
Each nation of people, in all different times, had a Prophet. A chosen man amongst mankind. Allah sent 124,000 Prophets to warm us. They set examples of highest behavior. Here you will find a short description of some of the lives of these men. May peace and mercy be upon them all.

The Story of the Prophet Adam
Our first man created was Adam (pbuh). He was the first person to receive the divine messages from Allah, claiming the title as our first Prophet. The Story of the Prophet Adam
Allah asked all moving creatures and unmoving creatures if they wished to have free will. Each of them declined this honor saying that it was too much responsibility. The soul of man was the only one to except the offer. Allah bestowed upon the man the job of being the caretaker of the planet earth. A caretaker that would have knowledge of everything. He formed a body for these first humans out of earth and they were known as Adam (pbuh) and his wife Hawwa (pbuh). He placed them in a lush paradise. The Angel's we're forced to bow before them out of respect for their knowledge that Allah had given them about the Earth. Ever being except one of the Jinn, who was known as Iblis. He felt that he was a superior being and refused to bow before a creature that was made from earthly components.
Furious Allah rebuked Iblis for his insolence and told him to remove himself from His company. Iblis said that man would only cause havoc and bloodshed on Earth. Allah agreed to allow Iblis to live till the day of judgment. Iblis vowed to prove that the Jinn we're superior to man. He said that he would mislead many and turn them from Allah. Allah said that only people who chose to befriend Iblis would be tempted. Allah warned that those who followed him of the Jinn and men would all share Iblis's fate in the Hellfire. Allah renamed Iblis, Shay' ton.
Shay'ton took his corruption right away. He entered the garden of Adam (pbuh) and Hawwa (pbuh). He whispered his lies to them. Saying that if they only ate from the tree in which they had been forbidden, they would live for ever. In Time Adam (pbuh) and Hawwa (pbuh) gave into Shay' ton. The Second they had transgressed against Allah's command they felt shame and guilt overwhelm them. Adam (pbuh) and Hawwa(pbuh) tried to hide from Allah and cover their bodies. Allah knower of all. He knew that his creations had done wrong and cast them out of the garden. Not to return.
In time Allah forgave Adam (pbuh) and Hawwa (pbuh), and showed them how to ask him for forgiveness. They we're so happy to be near Allah again that they begged Allah to have mercy on them and forgive them. They cried out that if they we're not forgiven they would be of the lost. Allah warned them. Anyone who befriends Shay'ton, the Jinn and did not follow his guidance, would inherit the fire with Shay'ton. Allah reminded them that if they we're of the pious that they could return to Him to enjoy His bounties in paradise, when they had completed their time on Earth. Adam (pbuh) and Hawwa (pbuh) vowed to be of the Pious.
Allah blessed them with many children. Adam (pbuh) became the first Prophet. He was selected by Allah to teach his family to obey and fear Allah. Allah told him that he was the first of many and that he would send down Prophets to Adam (pbuh) and Hawwa's (pbuh) descendants to warm them of his promise to mankind. May peace be upon Adam and Hawwa. The mother and father of the tribes of today.
The Story of the
Prophet Al-Yasa (pbuh)
Al-Yasa (pbuh) was appointed as Ilyas (pbuh) successor by Ilyas (pbuh) before he vanished into the protection of Allah. Ilyas (pbuh) had appointed him as the Prophet of Israel. Prophet Al-Yasa (pbuh)
He inherited from Ilyas (pbuh) the inflexible king and queen of Israel. They refused to listen to any reason. Al-Yasa (pbuh) performed many miraculous deeds to prove to them the supreme powers of Allah. Instead they called Al-Yasa (pbuh) a magician. The king and Queen continued to defy his warnings, throughout Al-Yasa (pbuh) life. May peace be upon Al-Yasa.
The Story of the Prophet Ayyub (pbuh)
Ayyub (pbuh) was a descendant of A'mis, the third son of Ishaq (pbuh). Allah had granted Ayyub (pbuh) wealth and a large family. Ayyub (pbuh) was living in comfort and peace, when Allah decided to test Ayyub (pbuh) steadfastness in his faith.
Suddenly lighten struck and killed all of his livestock, a terrible storm destroyed his crops. Ayyub (pbuh) house collapsed with his family still inside, killing his children. Ayyub (pbuh) faith did not waiver. Every time that he was inflicted with a new sorrow, he would bend down in submission acknowledging that Allah giveth and Allah taketh away. Ayyub (pbuh) test continued. He became stricken with ulcers over all his body, his flesh was began to rot off.
Several of Ayyub (pbuh) companions left him. His wife Raceme was the only one that took care of Ayyub (pbuh). She would find food and feed him. She would wash, and dress his wounds.
Soon the people of their town forced Ayyub (pbuh) and his wife into the woods. Telling them not to come to the town. All the while Ayyub (pbuh) faith stayed strong. Ayyub (pbuh) praised Allah for what tiny food and other provisions that Allah had given them.
Allah was pleased with Ayyub (pbuh) faithfulness. Ayyub (pbuh) soon recovered fully from his sickness, they returned to their land gaining back the crops. Allah blessed Ayyub (pbuh) with more wealth then he had before. In seeing how Ayyub (pbuh) had recovered by staying strong in his faith. Ayyub (pbuh) companions grew miraculously in number with added strength to their faith in Allah. May peace be upon Ayyub.
